Below is a line of a Marriage Entry in Hiski of Talokas Heikkinen. I have not come across Talokas as a name and I am wondering if there are any other variations to the name.
Name Talokas, leskimies Heikki Heikkinen
I believe leskimies means widower.
Thank You
Janice

Talokas = talollinen = farmer, farm owner

Ending -kas, as well as -llinen usually means "having a charasteristic or property" (talo = house, farm, estate). The form "talokas" is not used anymore, but was common during late 1800's when the priests and scribes were ordered to write documents in Finnish in Finnish speaking regions of Finland.

Thank you Eevah. I see now. His name was Heikki Heikkinen.
Thank You again.
